CRY ONION (VHS COVER) Crewneck Sweatshirt: Design Breakdown
A Slice of Spaghetti Western History
This crewneck sweatshirt showcases a design directly inspired by the vintage VHS cover artwork of "Cry, Onion!", a 1975 spaghetti-western comedy. The artwork embodies the film's tongue-in-cheek spirit and its blend of Western tropes with comedic elements.
Iconography of the West
The design prominently features classic Spaghetti-Western iconography. Expect to see elements like cowboy hats, guns, and possibly exaggerated facial expressions or poses reminiscent of the film's comedic tone. The artwork aims to capture the essence of a bygone era, reflecting the film's position in the genre's history.
A Blast from the Past
The design is a direct nod to the vintage aesthetic of 1970s and 80s film posters, adapted for the VHS sleeve format. The color palette and layout mirror the style of the original cover, creating a sense of nostalgia. The design will often incorporate text, credits, or taglines, just as they would have appeared on a classic VHS release, preserving the visual language of home-video marketing from that time.
More Than Just a Film
This design celebrates more than just the film itself; it celebrates a specific moment in film history and home video culture. The artwork is for collectors of cult and niche films, representing a physical manifestation of love for the film and its distinctive aesthetics.
Unisex Heavy-Blend Crewneck Sweatshirt
A clean, dependable crewneck engineered for everyday wear. The cotton/poly blend keeps prints bright and the fit approachable — neither too boxy nor too snug. It's the sort of sweatshirt you reach for when comfort matters.
Product Highlights
Built from a balanced cotton and polyester mix, this crewneck gives you the soft hand of cotton with the color-keeping and shape retention polyester offers. That fabric combo helps printed artwork look crisp and vibrant, wash after wash.
Practical construction details — a ribbed knit collar that holds its shape and the absence of side seams — remove common annoyances so the sweatshirt feels smooth and lasting during everyday use.
- Cotton/poly blend for softness, durability, and color retention
- Ribbed knit collar to prevent stretching and keep a neat neckline
- No side seams for a cleaner feel against the skin
- Midweight construction — warm without bulk
- Made to hold print detail and color after repeated washing
Fit & Style Notes
The cut is unisex and intended to be versatile — choose your normal size for a classic fit or size up if you prefer a relaxed, contemporary silhouette. The length and sleeve proportions are tuned for easy layering.
Style it with high-waist jeans for a clean look, throw on a lightweight coat for chilly commutes, or match with joggers for a comfortable set. Works well with bold prints or minimalist branding.
